For a hostel I thought Green Tortoise was really nice. The location was excellent and walking distance to many places.
You need some agility to climb up to the top bunk and it takes some extra time to use the bathroom, shower, and locker for a suitcase, but it wasn't ever a problem.
You can store food in the kitchen and cook for yourself if you have time.
The staff was always friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean, and with privacy curtains for each bed - very nice touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they had lots of activities going. The location was central to everything I was doing in Seattle, I will be back when coming to Seattle.
The hostel had a community feeling. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only downside is several roommates leaving early and interrupting sleep. Friendly staff.
You wasn't really too far from much of anything you could walk down to Pike Street. The pier wasn't too far either from there a bunch of different little shopping areas. A Target really close by. If you're a Target person and there's a little souvenir shop on the corner that has good deals
The atmosphere is pleasant & friendly. There are organized group activities for guests looking for things to do.
The bathroom/shower setups are great & very clean
Never stayed in a hostel before so this was a whole new experience. Every single staff member I encountered was more than accomodating and went above and beyond. Was different sharing a room with others however if you are just needing a simple nights sleep for a reasonable cost. This is your place.
